Optimization of conditional inference trees from the package party for classification and regression. For optimization, the model space is searched for the best tree on the full sample by means of repeated subsampling. Restrictions are allowed so that only trees are accepted which do not include pre-specified uninterpretable split results (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function PrInDT() represents the basic resampling loop for 2-class classification (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function RePrInDT() (repeated PrInDT()) allows for repeated applications of PrInDT() for different percentages of the observations of the large and the small classes (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021c). The function NesPrInDT() (nested PrInDT()) allows for an extra layer of subsampling for a specific factor variable (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021b). The functions PrInDTMulev() and PrInDTMulab() deal with multilevel and multilabel classification. In addition to these PrInDT() variants for classification, the function PrInDTreg() has been developed for regression problems. Finally, the function PostPrInDT() allows for a posterior analysis of the distribution of a specified variable in the terminal nodes of a given tree. In version 2, additionally structured sampling is implemented in functions PrInDTCstruc() and PrInDTRstruc(). In these functions, repeated measurements data can be analyzed, too. Moreover, multilabel 2-stage versions of classification and regression trees are implemented in functions C2SPrInDT() and R2SPrInDT() as well as interdependent multilabel models in functions SimCPrInDT() and SimRPrInDT(). Finally, for mixtures of classification and regression models functions Mix2SPrInDT() and SimMixPrInDT() are implemented. Most of these extensions of PrInDT are described in Buschfeld & Weihs (2025Fc). References: -- Buschfeld, S., Weihs, C.

Sometimes data for analysis are obtained using more convenient or less expensive means yielding "surrogate" variables for what could be obtained more accurately, albeit with less convenience; or less conveniently or at more expense yielding "reference" variables, thought of as being measured without error. Analysis of the surrogate variables measured with error generally yields biased estimates when the objective is to make inference about the reference variables. Often it is thought that ignoring the measurement error in surrogate variables only biases effects toward the null hypothesis, but this need not be the case. Measurement errors may bias parameter estimates either toward or away from the null hypothesis. If one has a data set with surrogate variable data from the full sample, and also reference variable data from a randomly selected subsample, then one can assess the bias introduced by measurement error in parameter estimation, and use this information to derive improved estimates based upon all available data. Formulaically these estimates based upon the reference variables from the validation subsample combined with the surrogate variables from the whole sample can be interpreted as starting with the estimate from reference variables in the validation subsample, and "augmenting" this with additional information from the surrogate variables. This suggests the term "augmented" estimate. The meerva package calculates these augmented estimates in the regression setting when there is a randomly selected subsample with both surrogate and reference variables. Measurement errors may be differential or non-differential, in any or all predictors (simultaneously) as well as outcome. The augmented estimates derive, in part, from the multivariate correlation between regression model parameter estimates from the reference variables and the surrogate variables, both from the validation subset. Because the validation subsample is chosen at random any biases imposed by measurement error, whether non-differential or differential, are reflected in this correlation and these correlations can be used to derive estimates for the reference variables using data from the whole sample. The main functions in the package are meerva.fit which calculates estimates for a dataset, and meerva.sim.block which simulates multiple datasets as described by the user, and analyzes these datasets, storing the regression coefficient estimates for inspection. The augmented estimates, as well as how measurement error may arise in practice, is described in more detail by Kremers WK (2021) <arXiv:2106.14063> and is an extension of the works by Chen Y-H, Chen H.
